MoN8: Eighth Mathematics of Networks meeting – 18th September 2009, Cambridge University
The Eighth Mathematics of Networks meeting wass held at the William Gates building at Cambridge University on Friday 18th September 2009. Thanks to Tim Griffin for acting as host on this occasion. Another successful meeting brought together speakers from many disciplines with many different approaches to networking problems.
This informal series of meetings gives researchers a forum to present new work which uses mathematics to investigate networks. The meetings encourage interdisciplinary communications and talks have been from many fields including computer networks, road networks, economic networks and biological networks.

There is also a
mailing list
for people who wish to keep abreast of these meetings and developments in the Mathematics of Networks.
